What happens in Christchurch?
A job starts the same way wherever you are: a measured survey, a look at the lintel and floor level, and a conversation about how the unit trades. We cover postcodes including BH6, BH23 and BH7, and we also work nearby in Bournemouth and New Milton.
What should you check before you decide?
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.
How do you deal with the threshold?
We aim for level or near-level access. New doors need thought about wheelchair and pushchair users, and we check the floor before we promise anything.
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
How much will it cost?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |

| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £3,600 to £5,995 |

Do you need consent in Christchurch?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
